TYLER — Here’s a quick look at work planned in the Tyler District of the Texas Department of Transportation.
TYLER — The Texas Department of Transportation’s Transportation Planning and Programming Division in Austin is scheduled to perform traffic counts in the Tyler District between Monday, April 2 and Friday, April 13. The survey sites, which are marked with “State Traffic Survey” signs, will be in operation for 24 hours in each of 22 undisclosed locations.
“Traffic counts are an important statistic,” said TxDOT public information officer Larry Krantz. “They tell us a lot about how our system is being used at the moment, and when compared with historical data, they show us how traffic patterns have changed. We use that data to plan everything from scheduling litter cleanup to planning for new roads.” The counts are performed annually on state-system roads, which include Interstates, U.S. Highways, State Highways, Loops, Spurs and Farm-to-Market Roads.
